NOTES: Rays SS Yunel Escobar did not start for the first time since July 21. He pinch-hit in the eighth. Manager Joe Maddon said Sunday's pitching matchup gave him a good excuse to sit Escobar, who he wants to keep from completely wearing down by the end of the season. ... Seattle 2B Nick Franklin was not in the lineup on Sunday, a day after taking a knee to the head while attempting to field a fly ball. Mariners manager Eric Wedge said the decision was not entirely based on Saturday's collision, though, and Franklin is fine. Franklin struck out pinch-hitting in the ninth.
